A National Treasure in Bloom 🇹🇹 🌺The Double Chaconia, Trinidad and Tobago’s national flower, adorns the front lawn of The President’s House.The Double Chaconia, which is both indigenous and unique to Trinidad and Tobago, officially became our national flower in 2019, replacing the single-petal Chaconia which can be found in other parts of the world. Discovered in 1957 in the Blanchisseuse Valley by Grace Walloon (née Atteck) and her companions, including David Auyoung, who later returned to collect cuttings for propagation, every Double Chaconia today descends from that original plant.🌱Today, the Double Chaconia continues to bloom as a living symbol of our national pride, natural heritage, and the enduring beauty found only in Trinidad and Tobago.#DoubleChaconia #NationalFlower #TrinidadAndTobago #PresidentsHouse #TTHeritage #ChaconiaInBloom 🌺🇹🇹 ...
